Libel Advocates and Newspaper Responsibility
Public figures have no need to fear newspapers and libel penalties should not be harsher. Newspapers are repositories of information they do not disclose freely and suppress more social scandal than critics admit. When officials’ conduct involves scandal, the blame lies with those officials for providing material to be criticized.

Eight Hours, Why Not Pro? Labor Eight vs Nine Hours
The piece argues eight hours hours labor is optimal, noting workers fatigue less with eight than nine and that forcing a nine hour workday harms output. It contends wages do not justify nine hours and that workers should not be compelled to sell more hours than agreed, even if employers offer pay.
Wage and Capital in a Maligned System
The piece argues the capitalist estate once valued at 54 million, now listed at 120 million, illustrating a shift to collective ownership. It contends workers provide brains and brawn while wage earners exchange labor for essentials, and claims capitalists gain by absorbing workers’ lives, predicting a future class consciousness leading to wealth redistribution.
